I’m Stephanie. I believe in the power of stories to transform hearts, build connection, and glorify God. As a writer and speaker, I use the gifts God has given me to share stories that matter—stories of pain and healing, loss and redemption, everyday life and extraordinary grace. Whether I’m sharing moments from my own journey or helping someone else tell theirs, I know that a well-told story can be the spark that leads to healing, hope, and meaningful change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e4432e11275129badfcf04/243f04fd-1065-4083-8553-5baf1b45baf2/Engelman+Family+Dec+2017+looking+at+eachother.JPG About - I work with those who long to bring their stories to life—guiding them in their own writing or serving as a ghostwriter to craft their message with clarity and heart.

My husband’s near-death, the years spent as his caregiver while raising our five children, the heartache of addiction and infidelity, and the journey of rebuilding as a single mother. These stories aren’t easy, but they’re real. And they’ve taught me that, even in the darkest seasons, we can live with joy and peace when we place our trust in God. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e4432e11275129badfcf04/badd380e-6aa5-4f7e-a4d1-24adbdc54d0a/IMG_0020.jpg About - I’ve spoken to audiences large and small, young and old, offering keynotes, retreats, workshops, and author visits that inspire and uplift.
